Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to encode, store,
analyze, and report spatial data. This course expands the GIS
foundations, concepts, and application techniques already acquired
in the introductory course (GEOG 60: Introduction to Geographic
Information Systems). It mainly focuses upon the professional
applications of the GIS technology as well as the understanding of
more advanced spatial analysis functions such a digitizing,
geocoding, classification, and overlay analysis. The student is
expected to become proficient in applying GIS for the analysis of
problems in a wide array of fields.
